Question:
What is the difference between Aquamid and Perlane/Restylane/Esthelis?
Answer:
All products are what you would call dermal fillers or tissue fillers. These injectable implants are able to fill out lips, cheekbones, and similar. They are also able to fill out wrinkles or furrows in the face. The difference between Aquamid and Restylane/Perlane/Esthelis is that the body's enzymes are not able to break down Aquamid, once it has been injected into the body, making the result permanent. Restylane, Perlane and Esthelis only have a temporary effect, and they will require regular follow up treatments to maintain the result.
